Twitter is opposed to file tweets – CCM

Twitter has removed Politwoops and Diplotwoops accounts, dedicated to archive tweets deleted by politicians.
 

The news leaked after Twitter communicate its decision to the Open State Foundation, an organization that promotes transparency in the network. According to officials of the popular network microblogging , the decision was taken after a “thoughtful internal deliberation and careful consideration of many factors.”
 

With this move, Twitter tweet prevents becoming “something immutable and irrevocable” and defends the right of its members to retract and remove your old messages. “No user the ability deserves more than another. In fact, delete tweets is an expression of the user’s voice”, justified by the fact that, this time, are defending the rights of political and diplomatic.
